O knihe
Set in the farmlands of mid-America in the late nineteenth
century, Fallow's Field tells the story of a man whose work
is his only solace as he buries his emotions amidst the
growing blades of golden wheat.
After the tragic deaths of his father and uncle, Ned Fallow grows
into a silent young man, shut off from emotional ties and
struggling to earn a living on a wheat farm in Midland, Kansas.
He becomes obsessed with growing the perfect crop in the fertile
Kansas soil and pays little attention to the world around him; yet
the beautiful, intelligent schoolteacher, Lily Thomason, and the
untimely death of one of his workers finally force Ned out of his
shell and make him rethink his perspective on the life he's always
envisioned.
Fallow's Field is the portrait of a good man, hurt so badly that he
has turned away from those intimate connections that add true
meaning to one's life. As Ned struggles against the forces of
nature, human and otherwise, he is faced with one last chance at
happiness-and the leap of faith he must take to find his ultimate
redemption.
